Due to safety concerns, disposing of some materials require a permit before hand. If you are taking any of the products listed below to the landfill, you must fill out the respective permit. Please review attached permits for additional instructions. As always, we are here to help. Please call (805) 882-3600 for further assistance.
If you have one of the following categories of waste a permit is required for disposal.
Empty Pesticide Containers
Pesticide containers must be triple rinsed and dried prior to disposal. These items require the same permit that is used for asbestos.
Permit for Empty Pesticide Containers
Asbestos
Asbestos must be double bagged in 6 millimeter bags. These bags cannot be ripped or damaged in any way. Asbestos is a dangerous substance and should be handled with extreme caution. Check out our other articles for additional information on the two types of asbestos. Permits are required for disposing of any type of asbestos.
Leachable Materials
Leachable Materials include soil, process waste, dredge material, & diatomaceous earth. These items all require the same permit, and must be tested per soil permit package.
Note: Soil must not contain any hazardous materials, must be free of rubbish, yard waste, aggregate (rocks, gravel, bricks), and otherwise suitable for RR & WM operations.
